For their analysis, researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester (Minnesota) used data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project from the years 2002 until 2011. Out of 20,308 blood samples analysed, only eight per cent had vitamin D levels above 50 ng/mL - which was considered as "high"; not even one per cent had levels above 100 ng/mL.

"We found that even in those with high levels of vitamin D over 60 ng/ML, there was not an increased risk of hypercalcaemia, or elevated serum calcium, with increasing levels of vitamin D, said co-author Thomas D. Thacher.

Elevated vitamin D levels were mainly found in women older than 65. This was not surprising because this age group takes these supplements particularly often, said Thacher. In general, however, the rate of people with high levels has increased significantly over the last years: while the number was at nine out of 100,000 people in 2002, it increased to 233 out of 100,000 in 2011.

A true toxic vitamin D overdose was only found in one person - the vitamin D level had reached 364 ng/mL after taking 50,000 IU (international units) of vitamin D every day for three months The recommended upper limit for people with vitamin D deficiency is 4,000 IU a day.">

Over the last years there has been a sharp rise in the use of vitamin D supplements. But toxic levels remain rare. According to a study published in "Mayo Clinic Proceedings, even vitamin D levels classified as high were found to do no harm.

Masturbation is not really bad; it is the addiction to it that is bad. Not even the number of years is a problem but the frequency and compulsiveness to do it is to be considered for its ill-effects. At your age you may feel it difficult and it can become addictive if you have alone time, if you obsess about it, and if you are not into relationships. The problem with addiction to this is that you may go on to prefer masturbation to heterosexual contact, even when you are married. That obviously would be an insult to your wife and will lead to a lot of conflict. Heterosexual contact is very wholesome and the physiology is made exactly for penile and vaginal contact. You will instead enjoy a poor replica of this and not know or care for the difference. The second thing that can happen with addiction is that it will become compulsive and will have no boundaries or limits, since it can be done all by yourself, whenever, wherever, and however too. The big problem a lot of children get into is the guilt around this. A useful way to discharge the energy is to get into contact games, or exercises, or even hobbies to channelize it. Also you should not spend too much time alone, and you need to keep your mind occupied with other interesting things and a lot of socializing. Even if you are not interested in marriage, for whatever reasons, it will help you to get into a friendship with a girl and enjoy the relationship where there will be a lot of excitement when you fall in love. Right now your hormones may be very active and your physiological apparatus is primed and ready for sexual stimulation. But because of your age and even otherwise it is important to develop good control and not feed into your impulses. Keeping yourself occupied and living a healthy social life are the keys to manage your sexual drives. If these tips do not help you, you can meet a sexologist and he will guide you more specifically.

I would advice her to get baseline tests done- fbg, ppbg, hb1ac, tft, echo. She should also start taking folic acid daily. Also it would be useful to know what medicines she is taking for her cardiac problem as in a few cases medicines/ dosage may have to be altered before pregnancy.

dust allergy occurs due to the production of histamine in blood. This production of histamine is provoked by the entry of certain foreign substance in our respiratory system through the air we inhale. For emergency situation you can take allopathic cetrizine tablets to get relief.
However if you are suffering from dust allergy from a considerable prolonged time then you should take the following medications:- 1) 5 drops of homoeopathic pyrogen 1000, thrice daily in empty stomach.
2) 30 drops of homoeopathic mother tincture cassia soph q, thrice daily, after meals, in a glass of water.

You take homoeo medicine belladonna30 (6 to 8 pills) --3 times (hourly) in the morning and arsenicum alb 30---3 times (hourly) in the evening for 4 days. Take complete rest and have easily digestible light food. Drink plenty of water as this will eliminate toxins.
